Recording the information received on serial ports
With Record you can record all the data received on the serial ports, that is, data from navigation sensors and PI gear monitoring sensors, mainly. The data files can be copied or moved to an external storage device, or to another computer on the network. You can keep the recorded files for scientific studies, future references or for training purposes. The recording is controlled by the Record function.
Prerequisites
Before you start data recording, make sure that you have defined where to store the files. To define which disks and folders to use to save the data files, use the File Setup page. The File Setup dialog box is located on the Operation menu. If you wish to save your recorded data on an external hard disk, make sure that it is connected to the computer.
Context
If you wish to record large amounts of data, make sure that you have enough space on your hard disk. Unless your computer is equipped with a very large disk, we recommend that you save the data to an external storage device.

The Record indicator on the top bar changes its colour to reflect that recording is active.
